)O(
Lily could bake better than anyone Severus had ever known.
When he thought about her, he always associated her with the faint scent of cinnamon and burning sugar and toffee and spices that hovered about her for the entire holiday season.
When they were young, she brought him biscuits that she made with her sister – and later, on her own – and they sat out in the snow and ate them.
Severus's mother never made biscuits.
Severus wished that he could go with Lily and live in her world, where things smelled sweet and someone was always smiling.
But he couldn't.
